Download Settlers: Age of Tribes
Introduction
This is the time before the current settlers of Age of Tribes.
It is a time of Good versus Evil with the Dragonkin caught in the middle.
Win Conditions
Economic Victory is achieved by Good, Evil or Dragonkin alliance collecting 275 PUs.
General Information
The map has random starting territories for each faction, so hopefully it has replay value.
It is a medium sized map intended for;
· solo play
· 2 v 2 play
· there are 3 alliances, so 1 v 1 v 1 can play
· 3 v 3 is also very playable
The Factions
The Good Alliance
Imperial Humans, versatile money makers
Dwarf Defensive behind their castles
Elf Defensive hiding in their living forests
Celestials Heavenly foe of the Demons, dealing retribution from their mobile Portals
Dragonkin Alliance it was their land before the invaders (Settlers) arrived

Features
Dice are 8-sided.
Turn sequence, Combat Moves, Non-Combat Moves, Purchases then Placements.
Land, sea and air battles can only last up to 3 battle rounds.
Factions may build (Lgt-Infantry, Catapults, Town-City, Fort-Castle, Sorcerers, Necromancers in territories without a Town.
Maintenance, most units cost 1 PU to maintain per turn other units are 0 or 2 PU per turn. This dramatically reduces large defensive stacks.
Towns, Cities, Portals, Sorcerer-Towers, Runesmiths each generate 1 PU per turn.
On Turn 0, pre-game, all selected factions have a randomly placed town or equivalent on the map. This is not always fair ;-)
On Turn 1, each faction of Settlers starts with 30 PU and various units.
